"The ultimate
measure of a person is not where one stands in moments ofcomfort
and convenience, but where one stands in times of challenge and
controversy."

-Martin Luther
King, Jr.

"Where We Stood"

On March 20th, 2003, at the start of the U.S. War on Iraq, more
than 750 people were arrested in Chicago during a peaceful
protest. More than 100 people were arrested in the following
days during planned non-violent civil disobedience actions. This
documentary features interview segments from thirty protesters
and organizers, taking you inside their experiences, from chaos
on the streets, to jail solidarity, to renewed commitment to
peace. Dramatic footage from the March 20th demonstration and
other protests illustrates stories of resistance from a cross
section of those who stood up to say no to the war.

Linda Beckstrom, the producer of the film, will be joining us
for the film. She will be available for discussion after the
viewing.
